promise

promise


At the altar I drank your wine
And promised to be
True
Until a lesser angel came around anyway

And at that altar I broke your bread
Sweared I would look into your eyes
Only
Though I knew another might catch them eventually

Oh at that altar I held your ring
Pledged that I wouldn't wear
Another
While I knew that it wasn't likely

But at that altar yor poured deep red wine
Promised that you would
Never leave
Filled my shaking cup up to the brim

And at that altar you broke the golden bread
Sweared that you would never stop trying to
Feed me
All the while knowing that I might starve before I submitted

Oh at that altar you gave me that ring
Pledged that we would grow
Even closer
But I doubted I would live up to it

Bitter was the day when your ring slipped off my finger
Your promise that time
I denied
And my lusting feet stepped back into a liar's bed

In the place of red wine
I found bitter fruit
In the place of golden bread
I received cuts and bruises

Golden is the day that you found me and my ring
Your eternal promise
You kept
Clothing me in gowns of white and gold

In the place of bitter kisses
Your sweet fruit from the orchard
In the place of bruises and cuts
Your healing hands

So now I stand now kneeling at this altar
Oh let me grasp your hands and heart
tighter
So I can keep - My promise
